Warning:  Regenexx Imposters!  As you know, we have been approached by literally hundreds of physicians wanting to perform the Regenexx procedures. We have only accepted to date about 25. Why did we turn down hundreds of licensed physicians? They had no advanced training in non-surgical musculoskeletal diagnosis and injection techniques. We wanted to make sure that every doctor offering this procedure would take care of patients with the very high level of sophistication that the Regenexx name represents. Today we learned from a patient that several family doctors in Dallas, San Antonio, and Colorado Springs have been telling patients that they perform the Regenexx procedures. There’s just one problem, we haven’t qualified nor trained any physicians in those areas. The group is calling itself the Osteo Relief Institute (with various locations). In the meantime, if you come across this group, they have never been trained nor have they been qualified by us to perform these procedures. In addition, if you don’t see a physician on our web-site who claims to perform these procedures, there’s a reason they aren’t listed.

An update: After speaking with the chiropractor that runs the Osteo Relief Institute, he believes the employees answering the phones at these clinics don’t understand what’s being asked for as they only perform common bedside machine PRP injections.
